What are the four types of machine guarding?

The four types of machine guarding are:

  • Fixed Guards – Permanent barriers that enclose hazardous areas and are not easily removable.
  • Interlocked Guards – Shuts down machinery when the guard is opened or removed.
  • Adjustable Guards – Can be adjusted to accommodate different operations or sizes of materials.
  • Self-Adjusting Guards – Automatically adjust to the size of the material being worked on, providing protection only when needed.
